a few months ago that RJ slid off the taxi way, today a mouse delayed a flight

DES MOINES, Iowa -- A pint-sized pest proved to be a major problem for some passengers at the Des Moines International Airport Thursday morning.

According to Allied Travel Agents, Delta Flight 4704 was delayed more than five hours.

Travel agents told KCCI that their clients were scheduled to fly out at 5:50 a.m., but were grounded until 11:39 a.m., all because of a mouse.

Witnesses said it wasn't the passengers who were scared; it was a flight attendant who was too frightened to fly.

Crews set up traps with peanut butter onboard the plane in the hopes of catching the miniature stowaway.

The delay prevented many of the passengers on the flight from making their connecting flights out of Atlanta.

The flight finally landed in Atlanta at 2:46 p.m.

Travelers at the airport said the story is the only thing people were talking about. A pilot on another flight out of the airport even joked about the mouse during his take-off announcement, after the incident had somehow also delayed that flight as well, a passenger told KCCI.

Passenger Ralph Schippers, of Pleasant Hill, told KCCI he's pretty sure that the crew never did catch the mouse.
